#6430: gcc-5.1.0
It may also be appropriate to make the next version of LFS/BLFS version 8.0.
At least they've avoided the libstdc++v3 issues this time. For full
c++-11 support, and experimental c++-14, perhaps a version bump is
justified, not sure. To be honest, by the time it got released it
seemed a lot easier for other packages than one or two of the gcc
minor version increments. Internally to LFS, probably as different
as when gcc-4.9 was released. And I don't see any obvious changes
in the structure of LFS that merit a version change, like your
rewrite of the bootscripts for 7.0.
Then again, I don't recall what changed from 2 to 3, or 3 to 4 -
perhaps new gcc versions played a part there. I think the change to
5.0 matched the incorporation of the Pure LFS hint with better
separation from the host system and an emphasis on testsuites. For
6.0 I no longer remember the details, but I sort of assume it was
moving to udev.
Now that gcc is going to increment its major version each year,
perhaps we could follow suit - or even go with YYMM numbers. Oh,
no, sorry, that option has been taken.
But I know many people like frequently increasing release numbers,
and it isn't my call 8-)
It's not strictly gcc. Linux is at version 4.
We may well have some major changes in BLFS as well. Will we have kf5 instead
of KDE? Not sure yet. Wayland? September is probably too early for that.
I do anticipate a lot of churn in the next few months.
